I should be able to say "Cortana, shut down my computer" and it shuts down. How in the world was this not a launch feature? I should be able to say "Cortana, Launch Microsoft Word" and the program starts. My CELL PHONE can do this.

How did Windows 10 Cortana come to be released in such an underwhelming state? I can't wrap my mind around the though process necessary to release a high tech operating system that totes a "personal assistant" with voice control and not have it perform the most basic of functions available.

You guys need to step your game up in a big way.

After saying something to Cortana such as "What time does the Microsoft store close?" Cortana should give you the answer then continue listening for 5-10 second after so you can ask a follow up question such as "Give direction to the Microsoft store" After that answer from Cortana without pressing any buttons we could say "start voice navigation." and Cortana would start that app.

Ok, I know you guys are freaking out already at the idea but it's for a greater good only . Android holds 70% smartphone market and rest is with iOS , WP is at like 3%, so if Android and iOS users get Cortana they will use it , as a result a huge no. of people will use it and since it is powered by Bing search , Bing will be more popular and also as the huge no. of people use Cortana , her backend will get nourished with more and more data. Also if Coratan is preferred by Android and iOS users over G.Now and Siri on their phones , it will be a win for MS . :D Vote if you like! :)

anyway it can be a useful ability for cortana and windows 10 devices.

Me: I have to apologize to my girlfriend.
Cortana: Ok, how can I help
Me: Bug me until I call her
Cortana: It's 1pm, you should call her girlfriend to apologize
Me: (ignoring Cortana)
Cortana: It's 4pm and you still haven't called her
Me: (still ignoring her)
Cortana: It's nearly her bedtime now, do you want to call her now?
Me: Ok, connect us

Have Cortana create a Microsoft Word document. The commands would say something like this, "Hey Cortana, create a Word Document" She would reply, "okay, opening Word. What kind of document do you want to create?" I would say, "a memorandum" She would say "To who?, Regard what?" I would answer. Then she would say, " what would you like your memorandum to say?" Then I would dictate the complete paragraphs and within the memorandum. When she is done, we tell Cortana, "email this to the following" and she would open Outlook or Mail and then input the names in the distribution. Cortana will then be the TRUE Office assistant.

The source of news items in the UK appears to be exclusive the Daily Telegraph newspaper - possibly the most pro-Conservative, pro-government newspaper in Britain. Regardless of what's happening in the world, the daily headline that appears on my Cortana live tile is invariably yet another article criticizing the opposition party. I find constantly being subjected to right wing propaganda via my phone extremely irritating. Can we allow a choice of news sources or at least remove what seems like right wing political bias?

I use cortana with a headset on my bike, for a call or to put on the radio. After the command the phone is unlocked in my pocket and gets input by the movements and draines the Phone.
Can you add the command to lock the Phone, on/off command, or standby command?

When was the last time Jonh called/emailed/texted me?
When did I last call my dad?
Who called the other more, my wife or me?
How many emails have I received from Pam?
Have I emailed Jonh for his birthday yet?
From now on I want you to greet him for his birthday every year

Dear Microsoft in the next updates, please add the feature that will turn hardware SEARCH button into SMART SEARCH button. It'd be very usefull if by using this "SMART SEARCH" button users could bring search results from apps, contacts, files (music, pictures, videos, documents, archives) and internet. Also, please add the function to enable or disable the SEARCH and BACK button touch vibration. Thanks in advance. Waiting for these features in the next updates.
